The table has always been a natural center of communication – in the office as well as at home. With “Edge” for British manufacturer Modus, PearsonLloyd have now developed a new table system that pays homage to this universal principle, spanning the divide between working, eating and getting together to have a chat. Flexibility of function is the philosophy behind it. Formally “Edge” lives up to its name: The slightly rounded aluminum frame and extruded legs combine to imbue the tables, independent of their size, with a compelling simplicity that is paired with a dash of nonchalance. For the office the system offers smart accessories such as paper trays, dividers and a cable management system. (tw)
